In the holiday-themed show “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” the Duchess of Sussex expresses her fondness for the Christmas season while adorning her Christmas tree. She reflects on the tradition of decorating the tree with lights and baubles as a way to cherish family memories and the passage of time through the ornaments. Over the past decade, Meghan, now residing in California, has undergone significant life changes, including marrying Prince Harry, stepping into royal life, resigning from royal duties, welcoming two children, and venturing into business endeavors.
Meghan’s Netflix Christmas special exudes a California flair as she showcases festive customs typically associated with the United States, such as decorating sugar cookies and enjoying a Christmas brunch in coordinated family pajamas. Despite the Californian vibe, Meghan fondly recalls her Christmases in the UK, sharing the British tradition of Christmas crackers with her friend Will Guidara. She reminisces about her time spent with the Royal Family in 2017 and 2018, partaking in traditions like pulling Christmas crackers before the holiday feast.
During the cooking and crafting segment of the Christmas special, Meghan fondly recounts the British custom of pulling Christmas crackers, emphasizing the sense of connection and sweetness it brings. While reflecting on her past experiences within the Royal Family, Meghan seems to evoke a hint of positivity and nostalgia, signaling a potential willingness to mend past rifts. Whether this gesture signifies reconciliation or a strategic move to leverage her royal ties for her media endeavors remains to be seen.
The Duchess’s retrospective look at her royal connections in this context is a departure from her previous public discourse, marked by controversies and criticisms, including her high-profile interviews. The unexpected reflection on her time with the Royal Family may hint at a desire for reconciliation between the Sussexes and the Firm. However, the true intentions behind this display of nostalgia and connection remain ambiguous and may play a role in reshaping her public image and relationships moving forward.
